Annual Awards Banquet & Membership Meeting – December 3rd, 2016

Last year’s site for the annual awards banquet and membership meeting was such a hit that we decided to repeat that recipe for success!

RSVP: We have a few seats available for pay-at-the-door. If you’re interested in reserving a spot, please send me an email and I’ll confirm your attendance.

Please include your check made payable to “MoHud SCCA” and your guest counts. The meal will be buffet style like last time. Questions? Please email me at EJEvo8@gmail.com.

2016 Solo Season Is Complete

The 2016 MoHud Solo season is in the books! The Solo schedule/results page has been updated with provisional results for both Event 6 and the season championship battle. Thank you to all competitors for your participation in one of our best attended seasons in recent memory. See you at the Awards Banquet.

MoHud Logo Merchandise Now Available

Mohawk-Hudson Region logo gear is now available via SCCARegionGear.com. MoHud member Rich Welty has recently ordered a logo’d Nike Dri-Fit polo shirt and reports he’s impressed with the quality of the product (you can see pictures of it on the MoHud Facebook page). You can order items now, or if there’s enough interest, we can arrange a group order for an additional discount. Look for details in an upcoming Knock Off newsletter.

Don’t own a race car? Try our Solo (AutoCross) or PDX (track day) programs, which allow you to drive your regular street car on a closed course at speed. Solo events are held in large open parking lots, with one car at a time around a course delineated by traffic cones. You’re timed and grouped with like cars, and there’s always a novice walk-through in the morning and other drivers willing to lend a hand.

Track days are hosted at famous road courses like Lime Rock Park, where you’ll get seat time driving full-out on the track in your own vehicle. We pair you with an instructor when you’re starting out and the day includes classroom instruction.

For fun on open public roads, try a RoadRally (also called TSD or Time-Speed-Distance). TSD rallies take place at legal speeds and follow a carefully plotted course mapped out and distributed the morning of the event — so bring a navigator!

Don’t like to race? Don’t worry because in addition to the driving-related, MoHud also hosts a variety of extracurricular group outings each year courtesy of activities director Pete Smith. Annual events include a golf outing, August’s family go-kart night — in addition to our award banquets and regular monthly meetings. There’s always a strong social aspect even at the race track.
